What Newport Brass does

Newport Brass is a US-based manufacturer of premium solid brass plumbing fixtures serving the luxury residential market, founded approximately 1987 in Newport Beach, California, and operating today as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS). The company designs, manufactures, and hand-finishes kitchen and bath fixtures — faucets, valves, shower systems, tub fillers, bidets, drains, and accessories — entirely at its California manufacturing facility from raw brass to finished product, offering up to 26 finishes including proprietary PVD coatings and 'living' finishes such as Unlacquered Brass. Differentiated technical features include quarter-turn washerless ceramic disc valve cartridges, WaterSense-certified flow rates (e.g., 1.8 GPM), and ADA-compliant lever/cross handles on select products.

The product architecture is organized around two recently launched sub-brand collections — the Pardees Kitchen Collection and Kimbell Bath Collection (April 2026) — alongside a broad core catalog spanning pull-down, bridge, single-hole, and widespread faucets, thermostatic valves, body sprays, Roman tubs, and bath accessories. Pricing is unit-based and premium, ranging from ~$334 for accessories to $1,798–$1,820 for complete faucet and bidet systems.

Newport Brass generates revenue exclusively through one-time product sales via a three-tier distribution model: authorized brick-and-mortar retailers, dedicated showrooms (with a 'Find a Showroom' locator on the website), and wholesale distributors supplying trade professionals. The company does not sell direct-to-consumer e-commerce and operates a dedicated eBrassTech vendor portal for plumbing professionals. Customer segments are horizontal — luxury residential homeowners, interior designers and architects specifying projects, and licensed plumbing contractors — supported by extensive technical documentation (CAD files, spec sheets, installation docs) and social presence on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest, with PR distribution through PR Newswire.
